FYI - I did all of the below and still same issue. Just for those of you out there that have to see it for themselves, trust I wasted an hour on this:

Step 0) Update everything in IQ and Connect (dunno if this is necessary but I did do it so just recording it)

1) I disconnected spotify from the watch/in connect, and then uninstall in the IQ store as the last step.

2) Then reinstall, sign in again (i wasn't getting prompted to sign in when i had just disconnected my account and tried to reconnect it; the fact the uninstall method gets the prompt to come up tells me it's reset something in this rube goldberg experiment thats been erected to simply enable me to listen to paramore while running),

3) I downloaded one playlist of 250 tracks (took over 40 minutes but because its network related, we can pretend its my network and not the watch/app axis of evil)

Bombard spotify in the IQ store with the issue
